We are parting out a Mutoh VJ1624 that was in full working condition before decommissioning. We have too many used machines at the moment and it's an older machine so we've decided to part it out. We sell used parts at 50% cost. Feel free to call 303-733-6671.

Could be static or electrical for sure but I would start by inspecting and cleaning the encoder strip. How's the nozzle check look?

Kroy Sign Systems is a manufacturer that comes to mind but there are a bunch as mentioned above.

I usually select all objects, copy and paste in front, merge the new objects together into one shape, and then expand in Illustrator. If I need a bleed or white area around the decal, I use the offset path function. This works in most cases but sometimes you might need to tweek it a bit.

Bump for anyone who might have missed it.

If you have a website, check with your hosting provider. A lot of the time they will throw in an email for free or cheap.

It's just a good machine for people who are starting out in the flatbed world for the first time. Fairly easy to learn to use and maintain. Lower price point than most full sized flatbeds. You're giving up speed and automation. The higher end ones are much faster and some have auto loaders etc.

Head heat errors occur when there is a short in the head signal circuit or if the room temperature is too high. It's usually a bad cable but if you've changed those, it's probably the head itself failing.

the Ex is faster because it has an extra head. The JFX series is a good entry level flatbed. As mentioned above, not the fastest flatbed out there but fast enough and at great quality for it's price point.

You probably just need a new cap top and make sure the waste tubes are free of clogs. It also looks like you could use a little clean up under the head. You just want to clean up any ink build up around the perimeter of the head surface so it can make a good seal with the cap top. Avoid the...

The head is crooked. You need to go into service mode and run the head slant adjustment. It prints a set of black and magenta lines that you need to make line up using the lever on the right side of the head carriage.

We have a large, laminated, sign facing south in Denver and two, unlaminated, banners that face south as well. We reprint the banners 2 or 3 times before needing to change out the larger sign.

That or find a used board you can scrap from. Ebay might be a good place to look.

Post a nozzle check. if you're only seeing it in light blues, the cyan head is probably missing some nozzles. Darker colors can hide missing nozzles a lot better than light colors.

It's ink flow in my opinion. If it's not a damper issue, it's probably air getting in somewhere along the line. Any air in the lines?

You can half cut with the normal cut strip. It just gets torn up a lot quicker than with regular use. The sponge strip is meant to last longer with the half cuts basically. You shouldn't have to manually adjust the blade either. Half cut simply kiss cuts the contour cut and cuts through the...

The main issues have been with the 1204 and 1604 machines. Usually the black clogs over time, you flush it out, print for a little while and then it clogs again. That and some card reading issues. My Mutoh rep actually told me to just switch anyone who has issues over to 3rd party.

If you've been wanting to try out a 3rd party option for your Mutoh, Mimaki, or Roland printer, now's a great time to try during our Bordeaux ink sale! Are you having issues with Mutoh's new ink on your older ValueJet? We've been moving our customers over to the Bordeaux inks and the issues...

Looks like it's only happening on one side. I've run into this before with a DX5 head and it ended up being a partially clogged manifold. I flushed it and everything started working properly. It could be a bad damper as well.

You probably just need some maintenance parts and a tune up. If it were me, if you haven't changed dampers, cap top, and wiper yet, change all of those out and see if it improves things. Dampers are pretty straight forward on that machine. they make you take that long front cover off to get to...
